You talking about that part where Aerith was talking to cloud through astral projection?

That's the one. Although in my playthrough I had the scene with Tifa instead.

So how could you have gotten Tifa? I like Tifa better. When that part came up and you had to choose who to wake up first, though I didn't know it was a choice I went straight to Tifa since she's the homegirl.

Otherwise just avoid doing Aerith's sidequests.

I've tested this. Here's what I did: I completed the game on Hard Mode doing all of the sidequests in order to collect every manuscript. Obviously, this includes the sidequests in Chapter 3 (for Tifa) and Chapter 8 (for Aerith). During this run, I spoke to Tifa first in the Sewers. In Chapter 14, Tifa met me the Garden. After completing the game, I went back to Chapter 10 in the Sewers and spoke to Aerith instead of Tifa and completed the Chapter. I returned to Chapter 14. It was Aerith in the Garden. Next, I played through Chapter 8 and called it quits right after the fight with Rude (meaning I went into Aerith's house) then completed the chapter. Chapter 14 showed Tifa this time ('cause this playthrough still registered Tifa's sidequests). Finally, I replayed chapter 3 and skipped the sidequests (well you have to do one, optimally Chadley's as he's right there. Then you have to save Johnny otherwise you can't get back to the bar. Funny enough, you can avoid Johnny sidenote if you do all of the other sidequests.) Anyway, on my final return to Chapter 14, with no sidequests cleared for Tifa or Aerith, it was Barret in the Garden.

BOO.-.-.YAH

Thanks, I'll have this in mind once I start my playthrough on hard mode!

As I understand it's mainly based on sidequests. So if you do all of the sidequests with Tifa in Chapter 3, and none of Aerith's in Chapter...9, I think... then you'll get Tifa. And you have to do all of them in the relevant chapter for it to count. If you do all the sidequests for both of them then the tie-breaker is the choice in the sewers.

If you ignore all the sidequests and are a constant jerk to both of them you'll end up with Barret.

Chapter 8

Don't forget the way you reply to Aerith when you first meet her, that bit also has influence!

I kinda don't think it does.
